Gabra as Father in Mandean text
#2
"Gabra" in all Aramaic dialects just means the generic "man", in contrast to "Talia" which means "boy."

So a father and a husband can be referred to as "gabra".

Hence, it was Mary's father who shared the same common name as her future husband, and both were properly referred to as her "gabra."
